He also expressed appreciation to the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) and all relevant stakeholders for their support and commitment in advancing collaboration in the aviation sector.
The aviation partnership between Indonesia and Singapore reflects a pragmatic and solution-oriented approach, emphasising safety, operational efficiency and mutual respect. The presence of CMAC personnel plays a key role in improving coordination, enhancing operational efficiency and strengthening mutual understanding between the two countries at the technical level.
The ambassador also commended all CMAC members for their professionalism and dedication in supporting the safety and smooth management of air traffic in the region. Looking ahead, CMAC is expected to continue contributing to deeper aviation cooperation and stronger bilateral relations between Indonesia and Singapore.
